Bates was also endorsed on the flyer without his knowledge and while he voted to denounce it, he says drug related crime is imported from Mexico. "And that's true, that's a fact. Well there were objections to that, they said that was racial, but I didn't see it that way," said Bates.

RICHMOND, CA (KGO) — A candidate for Richmond’s City Council says he’s dropping out of the race and resigning his seat on the police commission. It all stems from a controversial flyer endorsing him, which he says he had nothing to do with.

In a city where illegal immigration is a sensitive issue critics called it a “racist scare tactic” used to support Richmond City Council candidate Chris Tallerico’s pro law enforcement stance.
“I learned about it just like everybody else did, after it was produced,” said Chris Tallerico.

He makes a true statement about drugs coming in from Mexico, and they call it racist. If blacks are accused of raping whites, that's racist. If drugs come in from non-white countries, that's racist too. If we don't bow down to a negro presidential nominee, that's also racist.

I guess they just want to gag and blindfold all of the white people so nothing is racist anymore.

yeah, which race might that be? mexican is not a race as everyone well knows....

looks like the 'Richmond Community United for Peace', as though drug gangs are peaceful how retarded, is supporting the mexican mafia and the mexican cartels, how quaint, these people are just too stupid...

it is just beyond ridiculous by now that illegal aliens are claming rights and getting them....it is treason...

americans can't even talk about their own country and what is happening to it, what a pathetic, weak, anti-american state californication has become,

instead of invading Iraq the entire SW should have been put under Martial Law and all aliens rounded up.....

in light of the fact that some of the 9/11 bombers suppossedly came from Germany - instead of invading Iraq and Afghanistan, Europe should of had joint operations with US to round up all muslims for deportation, that would have protected the west and the US......

You only have to be afraid if you're illegal! If this is a sensitive issue it means there's a whole bunch of criminals there. Down with the invading hordes!

That is exactly what they are doing, and up until the present time, it has been a pretty successful strategy.
